There is a possibility that the damage was created by those shopping carts that require you to put in a dollar or two dollar coins before you can use them.

the coin has a strange ring just inside the edge of the coin.  |

Hard to tell from the pics, but is this like the ring which was very common on 1984 $1's? Never did get a definitive answer on what the cause was, but you could feel a slight depression on both sides of the coins.

Almost certainly from a coin rolling machine.

It's definitely damage from a coin rolling machine as per Markn's post. It would have been an end coin in the roll & the obverse was not exposed, so it didn't get damaged.
Many coins are damaged like this, I've seen hundreds of them.

I used to try and put sets together that had the circles from the rolling machines.

I've since been told that this mark on 1984 and 1985 dollars may well be from the offsetting press (the machine that puts the rim on the coin).

The 1985 is so common with this, that I would handle 10 of these a day at work.
